HereÆs a dirty secret: The North American Electric Reliability Corp.
projects that more homes will have blackouts over the next decade. ThatÆs
why President TrumpÆs energy executive orders have arrived not a moment
too soon.

When blackouts occur, people canÆt cook, use lights and heat, or recharge computers or cell phones. For people in frail health, interruptions can be fatal, especially in winter. Americans learned from winter storm Uri in
Texas in 2021, which caused 246 deaths, that lights must stay on and
houses must be kept warm, or people die.

The gridÆs weakness stems from surging energy demand and planned closures
of numerous power plants. Energy demand is skyrocketing as companies build
more data centers and artificial intelligence applications.

At the same time, Inflation Reduction Act tax credits skew investment
toward intermittent wind and solar power. But applications for new
baseload power, which operates around the clockùcoal, natural ga,s and nuclearùare lagging.

U.S. Energy Dominance Will Force the End of the Global Net Zero Fiasco
On his first day in office, Mr. Trump called for reversing President
BidenÆs anti-energy agenda with multiple executive orders.

Mr. Trump withdrew America from the Paris Agreement, which required
costly, unreliable wind and solar power. This will save trillions of
dollars, decrease electricity and transportation costs, and allow people worldwide to develop their own natural resources, including fossil fuel resources.

The president called for increased development of rare earth minerals, elimination of the electric vehicle mandate, and development of energy
sources readily abundant on U.S. soil: coal and natural gas. Americans can choose which cars and appliances to buy, abandoning electrification
incentives.

The president temporarily halted the leasing and permitting of all federal
wind energy, which consistently overpromises and underdelivers at the
expense of U.S. taxpayers.

Finally, the president ended the Biden administrationÆs restrictions on
energy resource development in Alaska.

These are wise decisions. The government must take immediate action if
America wants to avoid the North American Electric Reliability Corp.Æs projected blackouts.

The organizationÆs report states, ôLess overall capacity à is being added
to the system than what was projected and needed to meet future demand.ö
It predicts that 10 of the 20 regional assessment areas that divide the
North American power grid are at elevated risk. Blackouts may occur in
extreme weather conditions within the next four years. This is a clear
warning, and Americans should be concerned.

The North American Electric Reliability Corp. is particularly concerned
about the stability of the Midcontinent Independent System Operator, which operates the power grid in portions of 15 states in the Midwest and South.
The report warns of energy shortfalls even at normal peak conditions. More
than half the power grid is anticipated to be at elevated risk in the next
four years.

We Must Move Fast To Avert a National Electricity Crisis
Energy droughts are more likely during high-demand times, including during extreme weather such as a winter storm or a polar vortex. Electricity
demand soars, but renewable energy is dependent on the sun shining and the
wind blowing, and these sources are not reliable.

Mr. TrumpÆs changes to energy policy will help reverse the North American Electric Reliability Corp.Æs disturbing forecast. By prioritizing the development of readily abundant energy sources on U.S. soil, halting
federal wind energy, and unleashing AlaskaÆs energy resource development,
he will reduce incentives for unreliable wind and solar and raise
incentives for coal and natural gas power plants. These executive actions
will help stabilize the power grid and reduce the likelihood of its
failure.

Biden-era regulations mandated electric cars, stoves, and water heaters
and required power plants to close if they could not bury 95% of their
carbon emissions. The combination of artificially induced electricity
demand and the required closures of power plants would have caused
blackouts and deaths. Let us hope this disaster has been permanently
averted.

Americans depend on electricity. People want to be sure of lights and
climate control when the next winter storm or heat wave comes. America has plenty of power. All we have to do is use it.

This is why Texas has such problems.

<https://comptroller.texas.gov/economy/economic-data/energy/2023/wind-snap.php>

Texas has led the U.S. in wind energy over the past 17 years,
largely because its abundant space and optimal wind conditions
make it an ideal location to capture this resource.

In 2022, Texas wind generated 40,556 megawatts (MW), accounting
for more than 26 percent of all U.S. wind-sourced electricity.

In 2011, Texas became the first state to reach 10,000 MW of wind
generating capacity and remained the only state with that capacity
until 2020.

Biden made a complete disaster out of the US energy generation. While there is nothing wrong with moving towards more renewable energy sources it's not like we can flip a switch and it's a done deal. It will take decades, advances in technology, and a gradual move towards a more green source of energy.

Biden put the cart ahead of the horse and as a result screwed things up
big time.

Fortunately Trump is reversing those disastrous policies.
Places like California and NYC can't even keep the lights on during the summer months due to A/C use.
So how will they survive with massive numbers of EV vehicles in use due to restrictions on ICE vehicles?
And then there is a dramatic rise in AI which require huge, power sucking
data centers.
The current grid is in need of updating, big time.
